[ffr]

The tRump administration has rolled back Obama-era climate policies at a brisk pace in the first year of Donald tRump's presidency. But it has been equally aggressive in minimizing the climate science that justified those regulations in the first place.

2. Industry research replaces academic science
EPA reworked a number of its science advisory boards to emphasize the voice of industry in policymaking. Now, the influential science boards are sometimes led by researchers who question the reams of scientific papers that find humans are the primary drivers of climate change. Some advisory board members reject the notion that soot and smog can harm human health, something public health researchers decided long ago was a significant danger.

The two agencies that conduct the bulk of the nation's climate science could soon receive new heads, neither of whom is a scientist.

4. Targeting the words 'climate change'
The phrase "climate change" has been targeted in some government operations. Though Defense Secretary James Mattis has spoken about the national security dangers of rising temperatures, the administration removed a section on climate from a national security plan this week. U.S. officials are also pushing to remove climate references from a new environmental chapter of the North American Free Trade Agreement...

5. tRump is still producing climate science
Despite efforts to stifle climate research, the administration released two major scientific reports in recent weeks that show the world is warming as a result of human activity.

One last gasp effort to auction off our children's future for short-term profit. This is conservatism at its peak.
